Washington's interest comes as no surprise. General manager Bruce Allen was in the front office when the Buccaneers drafted Talib, and defensive backs coach Raheem Morris was Tampa Bay's head coach for three years.

In fact, the Redskins had designs on signing Talib last offseason but couldn't afford him due to salary-cap woes.

After putting together one of the league's most porous secondaries last season, Allen is on the hunt for upgrades in free agency.

History tells us that Daniel Snyder is one of the NFL's most active owners in free agency. Now that his salary-cap is no longer tied up in penalties, the early signs suggest that will be the case again in the coming days.
